I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never meant to end

Too many times
I've seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody's heart gets broken
Usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can't say goodbye

So if you look and find me gone
Hey, babe
Just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love

Too many times

Hey, babe
Just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
